Specifica.tion of Letters Patent.

Application fi1ed December 2G, 1912. Serial N0. 738,621.

T0 all w7wm z't may concem Be it known that I, PETER E. ERLINDER, a citizen of alle United Stabes, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVindow-Sashes, of which the following, when taken in connection witl1 the drawing accompanying and for1ning a part hereof, is a specification.

This invention relates to window sasl1es which are used 120 close tl1e openings in Window frames, where more than one sash is placed in said frames.

The object of the invention is to obtain window sashes which Will not rattle, Will not admit any considorable quantity of air, will .not require weather strips, Will operate easily, are not complicated in construotibn durable and not'liable to get out of oraler.

Additional objeots are set forth in the speoifioation and disclosed in the clai1n.

In the drawing referred to Figure 1 is a perspective of one corner of two window sashes e1nbodying this invention placed in suitable position relative to the stop of the window frame but the remainder of said frame removed. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the sashes Whi0h are illustrated in Fig. l, showing the meeting rail of the upper and the bottom rail of the lower sasl1 in top plan view. Fig. 3 is a front view of a spring forn1ing an element of the device and Eig. 4: is an edge view of said spring. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section of one stile of a window sash embodying the invention, showing a modified construction.

A reference character applied to designate a given part indicates said part throughout the several figures of the drawing.

A is the bottom rail of a window sash, (Fig. l).

B is the bottom rail of the upper sash, (Fig. 2).

C is the glass of a window sash.

D are the Stiles 0f a lower window sash and E are the stiles of an upper sash. y

F is tl1e stop of a window Erame which stop oomes between the upper and lower sash.

G is the stop holding the lower sash in place against stop F and H is the stop which holds the upper sash against said stop F.

I is the riser or lining of a window frame.

It Will be observed that in Figs. 1 and 2 the stiles D, E are L-shaped and that one end of springs J are firmly secured in place on the inside of what may be termed the base of the L, by means of screws K. Screws K are inserted through apertures j in springs J.

L L are bars Whi0h are respeotively firmly secured to springs J by 1neans of bolts M and nuts m thereon.

On referring 130 Fig. 2 it Will be seen that the bar L is foroeol against the stop H and that thereby the stile E is foroed against the stop F; and that the bar L is forced against the stop G, thereby foroing tho stile D against said stop F, by the resiliency 013 the several springs K. 'Ihe forcing of said stiles D and E against the stop F also forces together the meeting rails of the sashes.

In the construotion illustrated in Fig. 5 the L-shape of the Stile E is obtained by attaching bar N to the outside face thereoi' by means of the screws n, n. Aside -fro1n obtaining the L-shape to the stilo by 1neans oi" fastening a bar thereto with screws or nails, in place of making said stile Lshaped in a single, or integral pieee, there is no difference in this modification from the construction which is illust-rated in the remaining figures of the drawing.

The stiles being hold fir1nly against the stop F With tho bars L, L hold firmly against the front and back stops G and I-I, respeotively, by 1neans o1 springs J, and tl1o rneeting rails of said sashes being thereloy held together, the sasl1es Will not rat-tle, nor Will any considerablequantity of Wind fiow by the sashes into the room, chamber, or place where the device is used. The window sashes can be raised and lowered the sa1ne as can sashes of ordinary construction.

I clain1:

A window sash comprising bars rigidly attaohed to the stiles thereof in combination With additional bars and springs interposed between said bars which are rigidly attached and said additional bars, the ends of said springs seoured to said bars, and one of said spring ends attached in a plurality of plaoes to one of said bars, to support and yieldingly hold said additional bar in a determined position.
